POV: Nagasaki Atomic Bomb

[FlyersFan]

I was stationed in Japan from 1983-1986.   I spent a weekend in Hiroshima.  I did Peace Park, went to the museum and saw the cement steps with the shadows of people who had been sitting there, I saw the Library which is now the 'dome building' where the airburst exploded over.  I walked over the bridge that was the target that they missed by a few hundred feet.  The city now is beautiful.  Big and 'new' and spacious.  It's too bad those nuclear explosions were necessary.  And yes, they were necessary to end the war.  Japan wasn't going to stop.  They even had kindergarteners going to school half a day and then working the other half in bullet factories.  Very sad that it had to happen to end the war.  But better that they died, then us.
